The commercial agencies and authOri-
ties all comment most favOrabIv on the
outlook for business during 1887. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that these prog
nostiCations, based upon a careful re-
view OF the business and business drift
of the country, will not prove delusive
Dun's agency is more than hopeful, it
is sanguine, saying: Rarely has year
opened with greater DISAGREEMENT
than the year 1886; rarely has year
closed with more confidence" This is
very encouraging, but il lie too far away
from home for practical purposes. This
living on the announcements promised
through the columns of mercantile re-
porters is too much like the old colored
woman's help to the missionary cause
The pIous old crOne, more stingy than
pious, always had her eyes rolled up to
heaven when the missionary collections
were being taken, and was so engaged
in singing, SLY abroad thou Mighty
Gospel" that she never saw the plate
as it was held up for her contribution.
A practical old deacon brought her to
time one Sunday by nudgIng her sharp
ly with the remark, "WOn't fly very far,
Auntie, unless 20 put some SLIDER on its
wings" Let San Antonio capital take
hold OF refrigerating works, stock yards,
cotton compress and kindred industries;
let our people elect a wide-awake city
council and commence street improve
ments and sewer construction, and San
Antonio will make good the prophecy Of
Dun & Co, without one if. and, or but.
By this means alone can we discount
hard times and enjoy prosperity.

Mr.. RYAN'S RETURN.
Dennis Ryan Is Home After an Absence
of a Month.
WHAT HE SAW IN NEW YORK.
He Helped Celebrate the Democratic
Victory in That State---Aifairs

'After an absence of a month, spent
in New York looking after private III
terests,'' said Mr.. Dennis Ryan, Il have
returned to st. Paul and will probably
remain during December, after which
shall go south, probably to ThOmasville.
Ga, for the winter. During my stay in
New York the election took place which
resulted in such signal victory
for the Democracy, and the night the
returns were being received was one
of 1000 people that cOngregated III the
vicinity of the World office. Towards
the latter part of the evening, as the
figures indicative of Fellows success
struck chorus Joe, Joe, what
do YOU know" Finally this became
so annoying TO Mr.. Pulitzer
who was up stairs receiving the news.

mOcracy. and when the results were an

GoULD's SHATTERED NERVES
How He Jumped While on the
Way to IrvingtOn.

The fact that Jay Gould is starting on
a European trip does not surprise dwell
erS on the banks of the Hudson, who,
during the past few weeks, have seen
the redOubtable wizard travelling to and
from his country place at IrvingtOn.
They have noticed that his nerves are
by no means of the best, and the rumOr
that a private detective always keeps
near him is only in accordance with
what they have at times noticed.
The least unexpected noise makes him
lump. About three weeks ago party
of friends were travelling up the Hud-
son, and one of the party called the at
tentiOn of the rest of quartet who was
sitting near them:
"NOw'S your chance for tip on
Western Union" said one. There are
Jay and George Gould, MOrOsini and
Norvin Green"
The tip was not demanded, but the
quartet was regarded with some inter-
est. Jay Gould was sitting next the
window and kept looking about him in
a nervous manner. Still talking about
the Wizard and his friend, the party
got out and one of them, as the train
started, was casually brandishing a
stick. As the ear passed him he gave it
a hit with his stick. good, stout black
thorn. 1t happened to be just where
Gould was seated. The jump he gave
drew the attention of the party on the
platform. One said as the train diSap-
peared:
''By Jove, wouldn't have his nerves
for all his money. He thought it was
dynamite"

besides closing other important deals.
1t is stated that they now own
practically a controlling interest in
that part of the range eastward from
the Minnesota cOmpany'S mines almost
to Port Arthur. They hold also the
ownership of an important water power
there, and it is expected that they will
use money literally in making import
ant Improvements Oh the range.

sWITCH-THROWING ANNIE.
The Only Girl Employed by a
Railroad i'm the Country.

Railroad in the Country.
Milwaukee has a curious figure in the
person of Il female ''switchman." Her
name is Switch Annie" and she is in
the employ of the Chicago, Milwaukee
Il st. Paul company. She has the honor
of being the only female exponent of
the art of Throwing switches in the
country. The work is masculine, but the
worker is feminine from the sole of her
sensible Walking-ShOe TO the top of her
shapely head. possessed of the beauty
of an English dairy maid and the muscle
of a blacksmith.
The eleven switches which she looks
after are out near the stock yards and
include the most important points in
the yards. They were formerly in
charge of the girls father, Joseph
Grautner. For years Annie was his
assistant, helping him almost from the
time she was large enough TO throw the
SWitclI-lever. Then she was advanced
TO regular assistant.
The old man was easily ratified" but
Annie, never. Her GOODNESS and deX-
terity have saved many a loss to the
company, while for herself she was
never known 10 make mistake. The
Chicago Times records this instance of
Armies pluck and deXtcrity, whereby
a serious accident was ayerted last
year:
BY the way. ii must be explained that
there is down grade from the west to-
ward the switch shanty. On the Occa-
sion in question heavy freight train
was coming down at full speed. As it
neared one of the switches the engineer
| was Mortified to find that il was turned
wrong. The clear. glistening iron lines
Sparkled mischievOuSly in the sunlight
up to the switch. There they broke
sharp off. Beyond was wreck and dan
| ger.
The engineer whiStled for brakes, re-
VerSed his engine, Sanded the track in
| an endeaVOr to check the .ponderouS
mass behind him. The wheels Kissed,
| snapped and cracked as they endeav-
| ored to get a reverse OH the treacherouS
rails. but in vain. Annie was in the
house at the time, fifty yards from the
track. The whistle for brakes brought
her to the door. A single glance showed
| her the danger, and her father was hob
! bling toward the switch.
With bound she Sprang from the
| doorstep and sped down the grassy path.
Over the log f0ot-bridge that Spanned a
| dip in the field she flew. up on track.
| The switch was still twenty to thirty
yards away. Needless of the danger,
for if the train left the track she was
certain TO be crushed, intent only on her
duty, the faithful girl ran on. Nearer
the engine came, creaking and grOan-
| ing.
Just as the wheels touched the last
rail Annie reached the switch. One
hand pulled the pin, the other turned
| the lever and the switch was set right
with less than ten feet to spare. The
| train rushed on in safety. with Annie
breathlesS but triumphant. waving a sa-
lutte to the crew without thought of
having done the least thing heroic.

On the side of the hill toward the river

mounds of stones, and from here in
